Caherconnell Archaeological Field School was set up with a vision for providing unforgettable archaeological experience in the unique Burren region. In partnership with the National University of Ireland in Galway we aim to provide the very best education as well as a cultural element which sees students interact with the people of the area daily.We organise accommodation, meals, daily transport, weekend learning, on-site lectures and daily tuition.

Amazing as this site is, it is far from the only archaeology of interest at Caherconnell. Three other stone cahers or ringforts (at least one of which is earlier in date), a probableLate Bronze Age burial mound, twoBronze Age boulder burials,house sitesof as yet unknown date, anancient field system, and aprehistoric houseare all part of the archaeological landscape found at Caherconnell.All of our courses are accredited by the National University of Ireland, Galway but are also open to anyone with an interest in archaeology or students who do not to wish to enroll for academic credit.A list of universities whose students have already received AcademicCredit from NUIG can be found here.
